Engine
Certain Ram trucks equipped with a diesel engine. The potential is for the throttle control linkage joints to corrode and cause the throttle to bind or stick, which could result in a loss of throttle control. Correction: Dealers will replace the rod ends and ball studs.
Transport Canada #2002107 · Jul 2002Seats And Restraints
On certain vehicles, the air bag electronic control module (AECM) will corrode if water/road salt is introduced onto the interior floor in the proximity of the AECM. The resulting corrosion of the AECM could cause the driver's side air bag to deploy inadvertently. Correction: Dealers will replace the existing AECM with one that is sealed from moisture intrusion.

About the Dodge RAM VAN
The Dodge Ram Van is a range of full-size vans that were produced by Chrysler Corporation from the 1971 to 2003 model years. The B series replaced the forward control Dodge A100, transitioning to a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that shared components with the D series pickup truck and had a conventional exterior hood for engine access. The model range consisted of a cargo van, a passenger van marketed as the Dodge Ram Wagon after introduction of the Ram nameplate for model year 1980, and a cutaway van chassis which was dropped in 1979.

Common problems & what to inspect

Pre-purchase checklist
- Match the VIN on the dash, door jamb and title — they must be identical.
- Cold-start the engine; listen for knocks and check for blue or white exhaust smoke.
- Test-drive through all gears at low and highway speed — no slipping, shudder or pulling.
- Confirm every warning light clears at startup (none should stay on).
- Check fluids — oil, coolant, transmission — for level, color and leaks.
- Look underneath for rust, fresh undercoating or signs of collision repair.
- Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic.
